Our corporate sponsor MHC Asia has donated funds for another vehicle for the Goducate model-farm in Laguna, Philippines. This is the fifth vehicle that MHC has donated to Goducate since last year. They first donated a vehicle for Goducate Batam when they heard that several of our Goducate workers nearly loss their lives when their old broken-down van flipped over in a remote part of Batam island.
Since then they have donated a van for our Sabah literacy centers and two vans for our Cambodian children’s home. MHC Asia has also provided free space for the Goducate Singapore office and other supporting services for that office. They have indeed been a real source of financial support and encouragement to us.
This vehicle will help our Goducate workers to transport materials to and from our model-farm to our Goducate learning centers in Laguna and to the market-place. This vehicle will help Goducate Laguna work to be more efficient in producing organic fertilizer (from earth-worms) and producing vegetables for food for our staff and for sale.
Our aim is to help the Goducate work in Laguna to be more self-supporting. The vehicle will also be used to transport many poor people in the Laguna area to the farm to learn scientific ways to produce food for their families and for sale. It is our aim to help them to help themselves.
Leo, who supervises Goducate Laguna is now looking for the right vehicle to buy with the funds sent from MHC Asia. As of now, it looks like it could be one of the two second-hand vehicles below.
